Most .NET developers do not incorporate security best practices when creating websites. The problem? Even if you use all of the best practices that the ASP.NET team recommends, you are still falling short in several key areas due to issues within the framework itself. And most developers don’t use all of the best practices that are recommended. If you are interested in truly top-notch security, available sources don’t give you the information you need. Most blogs and other books simply state how to use the configurations within ASP.NET, but do not teach you security as understood by security professionals. Online code samples aren't much help because they are usually written by developers who aren’t incorporating security practices. This book solves those issues by teaching you security first, going over software best practices as understood by security professionals, not developers. Then it teaches you how security is implemented in ASP.NET. With that foundation, it dives into specific security-related functionality and discusses how to improve upon the default functionality with working code samples. And you will learn how security professionals build software security programs so you can continue building software security best practices into your own Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC). For software developers who have experience creating websites in ASP.NET and want to know how to make their websites secure from hackers and security professionals who work with a development team that uses ASP.NET. To get the most out of this book, you should already have a basic understanding of web programming and ASP.NET, including creating new projects, creating pages, and using jаvascript.

Learn how generative AI works by building your very own models that can write coherent text, create realistic images, and even make lifelike music. Learn Generative AI with PyTorch teaches the underlying mechanics of Generative AI by building working AI models from scratch. Throughout, you’ll use the intuitive PyTorch framework that’s instantly familiar to anyone who’s worked with Python data tools. Along the way, you’ll master the fundamentals of General Adversarial Networks (GANs), Transformers, Large Language Models (LLMs), variational autoencoders, diffusion models, LangChain, and more! The generative AI projects you create use the same underlying techniques and technologies as full-scale models like GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion. You don’t need to be a Machine Learning expert—you can get started with just some basic Python programming skills. Transformers, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), diffusion models, LLMs, and other powerful Deep Learning patterns have radically changed the way we manipulate text, images, and sound.

This book presents a novel method of multimodal biometric fusion using a random selection of biometrics, which covers a new method of feature extraction, a new framework of sensor-level and feature-level fusion. Most of the biometric systems presently use unimodal systems, which have several limitations. Multimodal systems can increase the matching accuracy of a recognition system. This monograph shows how the problems of unimodal systems can be dealt with efficiently, and focuses on multimodal biometric identification and sensor-level, feature-level fusion. It discusses fusion in biometric systems to improve performance. Biometric systems use behavioural or physical characteristics to identify individuals. The fingerprint, face, iris, retina, palmprint, speech pattern, signature, gait, and many other characteristics are most often utilised in biometric systems. The two main uses of biometric systems are authentication and identification. A biometric system has various benefits over conventional techniques. Biometric characteristics are not lost or forgotten, unlike tokens and passwords. Biometric characteristics are difficult to duplicate, share, transfer, or steal. A biometric system functions as a pattern recognition system by collecting biometric data from each user, extracting a feature set from the collected data, and comparing the feature set with a template that has been stored in the database.

This book presents the research into and application of Machine Learning in quantum computation, known as Quantum Machine Learning (QML). It presents a comparison of Quantum Machine Learning, classical Machine Learning, and traditional programming, along with the usage of quantum computing, toward improving traditional Machine Learning algorithms through case studies. Machine Learning (ML) with supervised quantum models is a cutting-edge field that combines the power of ML algorithms with the potential of quantum computing. This approach aims to leverage the unique properties of quantum systems to enhance the performance of supervised learning tasks. In this paradigm, quantum models are utilized as the underlying framework for data processing and analysis. By harnessing the principles of superposition and entanglement, these models can handle complex computations more efficiently than classical counterparts. This opens up new possibilities for solving intricate problems in various domains, such as optimization, pattern recognition, and data classification. Quantum computers offer the potential for exponential speedup in certain computations compared to classical counterparts. Quantum machine learning algorithms aim to harness this speedup to perform computations more efficiently, especially for problems with large datasets or complex feature spaces. This reference text is primarily written for scholars and researchers working in the fields of Computer Science and engineering, information technology, electrical engineering, and electronics and communication engineering.

Kotlin is an interesting language because it is 100% runtime compatible with Java while being easier to use. Using Kotlin in either a new or existing JVM project makes programming simpler and your programs better, and this is one good reason for learning it. Kotlin experienced a surge of popularity when Google initially made it a first class language for Android development and, with Android now having officially replaced Java with Kotlin, it has continued to attract enthusiastic users. It has also found its way into many other domains as an object-oriented language that is fun and flexible in its approach. This third edition of Programmer’s Guide To Kotlin was prompted by the release of Kotlin 2 which uses a new compiler that makes it faster. Its most important feature is that it has full support for Compose Multiplatform. This is a UI framework for cross-platform development that encompasses desktop, web, Android and iOS. This innovative system is covered in a new chapter which introduces the way Compose works and how it exploits Kotlin's unique features. This book introduces Kotlin to programmers. You don't have to be an expert in Java or any other language, but you do need to know the basics of programming. As with all languages, Kotlin has some subtle areas where an understanding of how its small differences make a big difference to how you write expressive code.

Explore and learn advanced techniques for working with graphical, interactive interfaces that can be built in Access. This book starts with best practices and tips to write code using VBA, and covers how to implement them in a real-world scenario. You will learn how to create and use VBA classes. An introduction to the binary code and the "bit vector" technique is discussed, followed by the implementation of a drag-and-drop engine. You also will learn how to design a timeline, and make it scrollable. The importance of mastering classes should be obvious in any OOP programming language. Languages like Java, C++, Python, and C# are examples of popular OOP languages, as they fully embrace the principles and concepts of object-oriented programming. What’s wrong with VBA, then? Well, VBA is often considered a “light” or “limited” OOP language, for it does support some OOP features, but it lacks some advanced capabilities found in more modern and fully-fledged OOP languages. Due to these limitations (and to a diffused, generalized, absolutely unjustified aversion to this language), VBA is often seen as a procedural language with some OOP features rather than a fully-fledged OOP language. The good news is that we can happily live with these limitations (and sometimes exploit them, as we’ll see later), and classes remain a powerful tool to create our complex applications. Any source code or other supplementary material referenced by the author in this book is available to readers on GitHub. For VBA developers.
